I have read that kids do pass out, and it is not necessarily from an underlying medical condition. Some kids, however, may have some breathing problems or are using substances to make themselves pass out on purpose. Other kids may be holding their breath, have excess weight loss; and still others may react by passing out after a recent illness.
You sound like you are on top of your son's condition, and I hope you continue to observe your son without being overly concerned if this is a one-time occurrence (I know, easier said than done; I have two sons of my own).
Please let me know what you think of the article I sent to you.
